The project.

Rich in history and Victorian architecture, Olympia London has retained its iconic status as an inspiring events venue for nearly 140 years. From technology and fashion trade shows to thrilling sporting and film events, the site offers endless opportunities to work and connect using state-of-the-art facilities.

With a capacity of 7,000 attendees, the centre features two major exhibition floors, numerous seminar rooms, and catering outlets to ensure events held can facilitate all audiences.

The challenge.

Olympia London has expanded into a cultural landmark attracting 12 million visitors each year, with new project spaces for performing arts, live music, bars, restaurants, and more. The recent redevelopment project was set to modernise its venue spaces, including brand-new washroom areas for its visitors.

With visitor footfall expected to be high, it was imperative the updated washrooms were robust and easy to clean, making ongoing maintenance between events easier for the site to manage. To reduce disruption to current exhibitions, it was vital the washrooms were opened as soon as possible to allow attendees to use the updated facilities.

Our Accredited Installers, G Haslehurst Builders Ltd, were appointed to install the hardwearing washroom systems which were suitable for the busy exhibition environment.

The solution.

Striking and stylish Unity toilet cubicles were specified for the washrooms in durable, impact-resistant High Pressure Laminate (HPL), making it the ideal solution for high-traffic areas. Combining quality with functionality, the cubicles feature robust hardware as standard including emergency release indicator bolts to gain rapid and safe access to locked cubicles in the event of an emergency.

Thanks to Unity's pedestals set back on the partitions, the cubicles impressive floating appearance is achieved, creating a sleek design to complement the building's monumental architecture. With 34 laminate colour options to choose from, the client chose to specify their toilet cubicles and washroom systems in our modern ‘Indigo’ and ‘Suede’ finishes, for a sophisticated aesthetic that enhances the magnificent space.

Our ground-breaking pre-plumbed panelling system Vepps was specified for a 50% faster onsite installation time, compared to plain panel alternatives, meaning the exhibition facilities could be readily opened for upcoming events. Vepps ensures duct spaces are secure to keep staff and visitors safe, while allowing easy ongoing maintenance thanks to its 90° linear bearing hinges.

To replace individual sinks, Olympia Exhibition Centre selected Solid Surface washtroughs in ‘Everest’ to optimise space by accommodating several users at a time. Our washtroughs also benefit from allowing easily maintained hygiene standards with individual drainers and minimal joins, creating an all-in-one cleaning solution.

Olympia Exhibition Centre Wash Trough Mirror Box Unit (1)

Ideal for use alongside our Solid Surface Washtroughs, our striking Mirror Box Units were specified for a space-saving and seamless vanity design. MBUs are a great way of reducing clutter as all washroom accessories including hand dryers and soap dispensers are wall-hung and concealed. Concealed accessories also prevent germ transmission with reduced touch points, whilst creating a sleek appearance to enhance these heavily used washrooms.

We were thrilled to provide a full washroom package solution to the historic exhibition centre, surpassing the brief to meet their renovation timeline with impressive washrooms and complementary accessories.
